    Last night I was doing the trick or treat quests in Azeroth while in Feralas the OOX beacon dropped. Since these quests are a pain in the ass for their level at 70 they should not be a issue

    Other than wasting 3+ hours in the Hinterlands farming for that beacon it was kind of easy
    So in the end I walked away with
    WoWScrnShot_102208_091201.jpg


    And the it's 2.0 version
    WoWScrnShot_102208_091213.jpg [tiny] it's not mine but my brother's[/tiny]


    Also I cannot get either Shatt trick or threat quest none of the buckets have that blue ! above them

    On another note, I saw some faggot with the "Ambassador" title.

    My god that shit is hot. I want it so bad.

    <Ambassador Slaide> Yes please.

    Time to grind 10,000 AV's for blood turn-ins.

    I got that. Don't worry too much about AV, just clear out all the starter quests of every race (they give large piles of rep), use Wowhead to find the rest of the 250-and-up rep lowbie quests, and then top it off with some Runecloth.

    I'll have to do that, the only problem is that it's going to be hard to find low level quests without some kind of low level quest tracker. I know Blizzard was planning on implimenting one, but compiling a list of NPC's to talk to in all the low level areas to get all the quests sounds mighty time consuming.

    Also I'll need to decide whether to get the title on my Rogue or Paladin... D:

    conveniently they have implemented it ;)

    It's hard to justify that, I can sell 20 runecloth on our AH for anywhere from 8 to 10 gold per stack.

    That's a lot of fucking gold.

    I do it on my warlock all the time it's kind of scary how easy it is

    Actually I've been getting 8 to 10 gold per stack for about 6 months now.

    Sometimes dumbfucks will try and corner the market by posting them for 2 to 5 gold, but I just buy all their shit out and relist it. It ends up usually around the 7 to 8 gold mark.

    Yah, that is why I plan on clearing out my lvl 1-30 quests for all my city quests before moving on to Runecloth. Clicking on my Find Minerals symbol and selecting Low Level Quests makes it so much easier then it was 2 years ago.

    It's appropriate too, Corwind is a pally and Slaide is a rogue.

    I wish that gear with gem slots actually showed empty slots graphically.

    In addition to that, I wish that when you added gems to said gear, they would show up.

    So your all black, stealthy Rogue armor is now glowing yellow from all the +hit gems you've been throwing in there.

    hmm, on my last few chars i chose not to choose. i wonder if they can get both? or neither? Neither of the stupid factions will fly me around in SMV, so probably the latter.

    Also (at least on Mannoroth) the instance servers are constantly down or capped out. It's one thing to have a rare drop or two, it's another when you (basically) can only get 5 tries a day and have to roll against 4 other people, and then its even worse when you have a 75% chance of not being able to enter the damn instance.
